Purpose:
Pandemic fatigue has become a significant public health challenge during the COVID-19 pandemic, but the mechanism of COVID-19 anxiety syndrome on it and its components remains unclear. It has not yet fully clarified whether and how community resilience and personal resilience can play a key role in the post-lockdown context. This study aims to evaluate the association between COVID-19 anxiety syndrome and pandemic fatigue, and to investigate the underlying effects of community resilience and personal resilience.
Methods:
A cross-sectional online survey was conducted with 1209 participants recruited via stratified sampling in Xi'an. They completed demographic characteristics, Pandemic Fatigue Scale, COVID-19 Anxiety Syndrome Scale, Conjoint Community Resiliency Assessment Measurement, and Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale. Descriptive statistics, t-tests, and ANOVA were used to examine demographic differences in pandemic fatigue. Pearson's correlation and stepwise multiple liner regression were employed to analyze the associations among COVID-19 anxiety syndrome, community resilience, personal resilience, and pandemic fatigue.
Results:
The mean score of pandemic fatigue was 17.87 (SD = 7.88), with information fatigue (9.51 ± 4.30) higher than behavior fatigue (8.36 ± 4.16). COVID-19 anxiety syndrome was positively associated with pandemic fatigue (β = 0.286, P <0.001). The total effects of community resilience and personal resilience accounted for 28.3% and 30.6% in the model of pandemic fatigue and behavior fatigue. Only community resilience significantly explained the association between COVID-19 anxiety syndrome and information fatigue, accounting for 11.87%.
Conclusion:
Strategy for enhancing resilience capacity both at the community and individual level should be highlighted to mitigate pandemic fatigue in the context of post-lockdown. Targeted resilience-building interventions should be prioritized for women and middle-aged adults.
